Brian, you’re a vegetarian and you wear comfortable shoes. Many feminazis are also known for wearing comfortable shoes. There you go.

I’ll keep this simple for you people who are so defensive that it makes me sick. :raspberry:
Feminists & Vegetarians = mostly good people who actually embody the positives of their lifestyle, choice, whatever.
Feminazis & Vegans = fascist assholes whose only purpose is to berate and try to eliminate all things un-vegan or un-feminist.
Again, I respect and most times admire #1’s, but have no tolerance for #2’s. That’s just my opinion, as it is, so don’t go taking it up you-know-where. Some people on these boards are unbelievable. :fume:
Stevie, vegans are simply veggies that don’t do dairy. How does that make them facists or even assholes? You’re getting into some weird shit here.
He doesn’t shave his legs either!
I used to know some vegans who were lovely people.I would never have guessed they were Nazis. Life’s full of surprises, isn’t it? Do they eat so many beans to make gas for the ovens, do you think?

Probably not, but I suppose their probable high flatulence rate could lead some unkind people to describe them as simply arseholes. 
I though Vegans were the ones that sent the message from outer space to Jodie Foster.
Sandman, I wasn’t gonna get into specifics unless someone were to say something, so here you go.
In my personal experience, Vegans aren’t simply content with living their lifestyle. They seem to feel the need to force their beliefs on you and call you things like a “dirty carnivore.” Now, I have no problem with people being for something, but this kind of thing just crosses the line. I went to a university that was crawling with Vegans, so every day seemed like a battle. Couldn’t have a damn meal without some asshole Vegan making a comment about how many cows I killed for my hard-earned burger.
Reminds me of that whole PETA anti-KFC campaign where they were going up to people and their kids in KFC and handing them these “blood buckets” (PETA propaganda). Tell me is that crossing the line? Most people I talk to said those arseholes would be getting fist to the face if they ever did that to their kid. Check out their website to see what that was all about.
Conversely, I’ve yet to meet a vegetarian who acts this way towards me or others. I like vegetarians because they are very matter of fact about their choice and do not lean towards hating you because you do eat meat.
Again, this is all based on personal experience, so I don’t know how true this is for other people on Forumosa. But as someone else says, that’s just my $2 NT.
Stevezeauthor, you could extend this to religious fundamentalists or any other type of person who takes a good idea to an extreme and uses it to judge others who don’t adhere to similar beliefs.
Don’t worry, Steve, I think I know the sort of person you are talking about. I’ve never particularly associated them with veganism as opposed to vegetarianism - I’ve just known people who enjoy telling other people how they ‘should’ behave ie like them. The most memorable was this woman who harangued me for a while about how disgusting eating meat was, and finally pushed my boundaries of tolerance for illogic just a bit too far by claiming ‘the human body wasn’t designed to eat meat’. This may or may not be true, but you know what? I bet we weren’t designed to eat potato chips either. Just let me eat my steak in peace, OK? 
Or how about the argument that we are killing living things…as if plants aren’t living things which have been shown to also have feelings and an aversion to violence (according to some research). Besides, I think it’s more environmentally to kill a methane-,carbon dioxide-producing organism than one that provides us with oxygen.
I watched Meet your Meat and it made me hungry. What better way to celebrate the sacrifice of an animal’s life than to smother it with gravy and serve it with a side of mashed potatoes.
Them’s good eatin’!
Who would ever call themself a feminazi? You have to be wrong to use that term.

But how many oxygen-producing plants does the cow have to “kill” in order to produce the meet you eat? It is a lot. It takes 29 kg of wheat to get 1 kg of beef! 17kg for pork! That’s a giant waste of ressources and it is the reason why I neither eat beef nor pork (or any other four-legged animal for that matter).
The rain forrests are cut down to feed the cows to feed beef-eating people.
We have to destroy vast parts of our environment to satisfy people who eat pork, beef or lamb. If you think about it, it is quite frightening.
For chicken you just need 3kg of wheat per kg chicken meat, which I think is responsible. So, I do eat chicken, duck and other poultry, which is healthier than red meat enyway.
I am not on a mission to convert people to my life-style. If people ask why I don’t eat beef or pork, I explain the reasons and just hope to get them thinking about their own responsibility for the environment. If they don’t change, well, that’s their choice. I mean, beef does taste very good, no doubt about that, and changing one’s eating habits so drastically takes determination at first. After some time however, you just don’t want to eat beef or pork any longer anyway.
The argument that the human body was not made to eat meet is total rubbish. We as humans very obviously have been eating meat for millions of years, we have the necessary digestive system to metabolize it and eating meat might have been the very reason why we were able to develop our comparatively large brains.
People say “But hey, we don’t have claws, we don’t have big teeth, like other carnivores! So we are not fit to kill animals and eat their meat!”
Again, false thinking. Humans are smart enough to kill animals using traps and weapons, so evolution saw no reason for “animal-killer-equipment”
Anyway, I do agree that vegans tend to have fascist tendencies. Not all, but a higher proportion than among meat-eaters.
I think vegans don’t go far enough. They should stick to their principles and follow their beliefs to their logical conclusions.
Now, if you know that someone is going to go out and kill somebody, you’d be obliged to try and stop them, yes? Especially if that murderer killed not just once, but every day he went out for a fresh kill. You’d be obliged to do what you could to put him away in a tiny cell so that he couldn’t get out and kill again.
Now, vegans believe that killing living creatures is wrong. Yet while they condemn humans, they turn a blind eye towards lesser-evolved creatures committing the same crimes. This is gross speciesism.
We can start with the dogs and cats. Those animals are already under our thumbs and can easily be incarcerated for their repeated homicidal activities. Lock them away and feed them a steady diet of tuna-flavored tofu. Every cat that roams free means another night of terror and fear for mice. Especially considering that most cats are well-known to employ tactics of torture and sadism against smaller animals before they eat them.
The process of incarcerating all of the major land-based carnivores (murderers) should not be too difficult. Lions, tigers, bears, wolves…we’ll track’em down. We can’t continue to let them get away with this. Fish and birds are much more problematic. I believe we may have to develop new underwater technologies to capture carnivorous fish, while sparing vegetarian fish species. A new system of underwater penal colonies will have to be developed, as well - quite large, as there are many felonious fish.
I’m a creature of many vices, but giving up flesh 16 years ago was not a difficult task and I never popped another strip of bacon between these lips again, nor missed it. Wish I could have given up smoking so easily.
But my reasoning was not due to the environment no matter how noble a cause.
Call me a fruit loop, but from a young age I never fancied eating pigs, deer, rabbits, sheep or cows because I liked them too much. They’re cute!
Chickens are not cute. Nor are most edible fish (Nemo is very cute) or seafood. Or turkeys.
Ducks are very very cute, and I have some trouble eating them too, unless there’s a gluttonous Beijing Duck slap-up in the winter. Followed by self-flagellation.
Perhaps my standards are somewhat warped, but warm blood, four legs and hair is where i draw the line. And soulful eyes.
Meat anyone? Ewww:
Again, see Bob Balaban’s Parents with Randy Quaid, Mary Beth Hurt and Sandy Dennis. You won’t eat meat that week.
Farmland kills animals. Vegetarians are benificiaries of murder. Let’s not beat around the bush with terms. If I burn down your house, killing you and your entire family inside, just so I can have a plot of land to grow potatoes, what does that make me? There is blood on the hands of all vegetarians. They sanction and even encourage such wanton destruction of millions of innocent living creatures’ homes.
Go and read “Fast Food Nation”. You won’t want to eat at McDonald’s again.
Of course it’s not applied by feminists, it’s applied only by people outside of feminism. It’s just a trendy term, but I think it fits. I take it you’ve never heard it applied elsewhere? It’s fairly common, at least back in the U.S. Another one that I’ve had a good laugh at is “Christmas Nazi.” That being someone who takes celebrating the holiday just a little too far and implements an almost Hitler-like dictator stance on those who aren’t as enthusiastic as they are about the holiday. 
Good read. But I found it to be like most other books on things like this. Full of good points and bullsh*t as well. Meh. I would second a recommendation to read it though.
